# Substance Preparation Skill
## Purpose
Prepare a target substance for subsequent processing (e.g., heating, mixing) by transferring it from its current location into an appropriate, empty container.
## When to Use
1. **Trigger:** After successfully locating and focusing on the target substance.
2. **Prerequisite:** The substance must be accessible (e.g., in inventory, in an open container).
3. **Next Step:** This skill should be completed **before** setting up any apparatus (e.g., activating a stove, connecting electrical components).
## Core Procedure
1. **Identify Target Substance:** Confirm the exact name and location of the substance to be prepared.
2. **Scan Environment for Containers:** Look for empty, process-appropriate containers in the current room. Priority order:
* **Primary:** Metal pots, beakers, or bowls (for heating/mixing).
* **Secondary:** Ceramic/glass cups, jars (if primary not available).
* **Avoid:** Containers already holding items or substances.
3. **Select & Validate Container:** Choose the most suitable empty container. If uncertain, `examine` it to confirm it's empty.
4. **Execute Transfer:** Use the `move [SUBSTANCE] to [CONTAINER]` action.
5. **Verify:** Briefly check the container's contents to confirm the transfer was successful.
## Key Considerations
* **Container State:** All containers are pre-opened. Do not use `open` or `close` actions.
* **Efficiency:** Prefer containers in the same room to minimize `teleport` use.
* **Substance Integrity:** If the substance is temperature-sensitive (e.g., chocolate in a fridge), moving it to a room-temperature container is part of preparation.
* **Error Handling:** If the transfer fails (e.g., container not found), `look around` again and consult the bundled reference for common container names.
## Example
**Scenario:** You need to melt chocolate as part of a heating task.
1. You have already located `chocolate` in the `fridge` in the kitchen.
2. Run `look around` to scan for containers. You see: `metal pot` (empty, on counter), `glass beaker` (empty, on shelf), `ceramic cup` (contains water).
3. Select `metal pot` as the best option (metal, empty, suitable for heating).
4. Run `examine metal pot` to confirm it is empty.
5. Run `move chocolate to metal pot`.
6. Run `examine metal pot` — output confirms: "metal pot (containing chocolate)".
**Proceed to the next skill (e.g., apparatus setup) only after this verification.**

- alfworld-appliance-navigatorNavigates the agent to a target appliance (microwave, stove, fridge, or sinkbasin) needed for object processing. Use when you are holding an object that needs heating, cooling, or cleaning and must move to the correct appliance station. Identifies the required appliance from the task context and executes the movement action.
- alfworld-appliance-preparerPrepares a household appliance (microwave, oven, toaster, fridge) for use by ensuring it is in the correct open/closed state. Use when the agent needs to heat, cool, or cook an item and must first open or close the appliance before placing an object inside. Takes an appliance identifier as input and outputs a confirmation that the appliance is ready for the next action.
- alfworld-clean-objectCleans a specified object using an appropriate cleaning receptacle (e.g., sinkbasin). Use when a task requires an object to be in a clean state (e.g., "clean potato", "wash apple") before proceeding. Navigates to the cleaning location, performs the clean action, and confirms the object is now clean.
- alfworld-device-operatorOperates a device or appliance (like a desklamp, microwave, or fridge) to interact with another object. Use when the task requires using a tool on a target item (e.g., "look at laptop under the desklamp", "heat potato with microwave"). Locates both the device and target object, co-locates them, and executes the appropriate use action (toggle, heat, cool, or clean).
- alfworld-environment-scannerPerforms an initial scan of the ALFWorld environment to identify all visible objects and receptacles. Use when you first enter an environment and need to build a mental map for task planning. Processes raw observation text into a structured list of entities, categorizing them as objects or receptacles.
- alfworld-goal-interpreterParses the natural language task goal to extract actionable sub-objectives and required objects. Trigger this skill whenever a new task is assigned to break down complex instructions into clear, sequential targets. It interprets phrases like 'look at X under Y' to identify target objects (pillow), reference objects (desklamp), and spatial relationships (under).
- alfworld-heat-object-with-applianceUses a heating appliance (microwave, stoveburner, oven) to apply heat to a specified object. Use when the task requires warming or cooking an item (e.g., "heat some egg", "warm the mug") and a heating appliance is available. Takes the object name and appliance name as input and outputs the object in a heated state, ready for placement at the task's target location.
- alfworld-inventory-managementUse when the agent must collect and track multiple instances of the same object type in ALFWorld (e.g., "put two cellphone in bed"). This skill maintains a count of collected versus needed objects, guides systematic searching through receptacles, and ensures each found object is placed at the target before searching for the next.
- alfworld-locate-target-objectNavigates to a suspected location and identifies a target object. Use when your goal requires finding a specific object (e.g., "potato", "plate") and its location is not immediately known. Moves to a relevant receptacle (like a fridge or cabinet), checks its contents, and outputs the object's location or confirms its absence.
- alfworld-location-navigatorMoves the agent to a specified receptacle or object location within the Alfworld environment. Use this skill when the agent needs to physically approach a target to inspect or interact with it, such as when checking an object's state or preparing for pickup. The skill takes a target location name as input and executes the 'go to' action, resulting in the agent being positioned at the destination for subsequent operations.
